The bathroom is the most importance part of the house. There are many accessories in the bathroom that we take for granted: the tub, the shower stall, the sink, the commode, the shelves and other aspects. It is very difficult to imagine a bathroom that doesn’t have any of these. It is a matter of not just comfort but also hygiene.

Modern bathrooms host a very wide range of accessories that have become synonymous with comfort. Even the most ordinary articles like soap bowls, weighing scales, bath rugs, towel racks, toothbrush holders, first aid kits and dispenser bottles, can become an eyesore if they do not have their own place in the bathroom. Furthermore, it is very important that they blend in with the rest of the décor in the bathroom, and not stand out like an oddity. Presently, every house holds as many bathrooms as the number of bedrooms, with each person having their own personal space. This means as many accessories as per the different bathroom styles.

Bathrooms today demand as much attention as the rest of the house because they are increasing used as restrooms for unwinding and relaxing. The availability of modern amenities demands that bathrooms are just as convenient, comfortable and functional as the rest of the house, which can be achieved by having the right kind of furniture in the bathroom. The bathroom must be considered as an extension of a bedroom and not as an individual room while choosing the décor. This will result in the design blending in the décor of the house instead of just the bathroom décor standing out.

Bathrooms are much more than just a sink, a tub and a toilet. Modern bathrooms house the sleekest accessories, fixtures and furniture. Contemporary bathroom furniture includes bath tubs with modern gadgets like blowers, shower stalls with hydro jets, spas, Jacuzzis, saunas, shower stools, whirlpools, air tubs, a wall hung lavatory, and grooming mirrors.

Bathroom furniture is normally chosen with comfort in mind, but it might also depend on the color scheme in the bathroom, texture of the furnishings, whether the room is warm or depicts a stark designer touch, and whether the furniture goes with other accessories in the bathroom. Depending on these factors, the furniture in the bathroom can either be bold or plain, unique or plain and comfortable.

Tips and advise when buying your bathroom suite:

Your bathroom is probably the most intimate space in your home.
Many people invest excessively in renovating their bathrooms in the belief that the reflection of their
personality can be found in the design of the bathroom. When your guests use your bathroom,
they take the time to look around and examine the style and accessories decorating the bathroom.
Your wealth and style will be reflected from the perfection of work and the material you use.

Below are some tips and advise when considering buying a bathroom suite or adding accessories.

POTTERY:
Also known as sanitary ware, ceramics, porcelain and ware.
There are four basic areas that affect the quality of pottery and its expected lifespan:
The depth of the glaze:
The glaze is the glass-like surface coating which is fired onto the pottery in the kiln when it is made.
The glass enables the pot to be waterproof and protects it from chemicals, such as bleach etc, over its life.
The thicker the glaze generally the longer the life. Once this glaze goes, wears out, the pot becomes porous, absorbs water and eventually cracks.
The more you use and clean the pottery the faster the glaze wears out.
To make the glaze thicker you have to apply it a layer at a time and each time fire it in the kiln. This process results in breakages within the kiln.

For example, if I fire 100 pieces of pot once I may get 99 back in one piece, so the 99 pays for the 100.
If I then fire the 99 again I may get 80 back in one piece, so now 80 have to pay for 100.
If I then fire the 80 I may get only 50 back in one piece, so now 50 have to pay for 100. You get the gist of this by now.
If you assume that each layer of glaze lasts approximately 5 to 7 years you can soon see how the system works.
If you glaze once you get a less expensive cost to manufacture but the product does not last as long in a house. The thicker the glaze the longer the pottery lasts.
